It is clear form your post that you have been diligently watching the situation for at least 500 years and have been personally responsible for keeping whatever peace there has been but somehow the forces of darkness tricked you for a moment and the only way to regain your omnipitance, omnipotence and virtue is to bomb another part of the country into the stone age.
You refer to Serb forces leaving Kosovo. Others might see it as Yugoslavian forces surrendering a province of their country to a terrorist organization with external backing.
Somehow, I think there will be a great deal more violence before people begin to talk and understand the complexities involved in restoring a peaceful atmosphere.
The potential for people to engage in human cruelty is a very sad thing. Most people actually involved in conflict are repulsed by the violence. In more primitive times conflicts were often the result of mutual fear and prejudice. The realization that either side could inflict damage and pain to the other (if nothing else) sometimes ended the sabre rattling and demonstrations of bravado and provocation.
The modern world allows the protaganists to engage in hostilities from hundreds of miles away from the actual field of conflict.
I would prefer to see Milosovic and Clinton slug it out on WWF until they were tired, bored or unable to personnally continue.
